My review:????
Finder by Suzanne Palmer is about Fergus Ferguson, a man from Earth in a time of established colonies on other planets (such as Mars), and space stations. He is good at finding things, and he’ll need his skills on this backwater planet that the man who stole a spaceship has come to.
There are threatening aliens who flyover once in a while, Shielders who keep to themselves, and a civil war that breaks out as Fergus arrives. He has to make alliances, work quickly, and getting the ship will mean he can leave all this madness behind him.
This is an enjoyable sci-fi story, with Fergus as a likeable rogue, and the people he collects around him are unusual. You are rooting for Fergus to win the day, and the twists and turns seem obvious once they’ve happened.
I enjoyed this adventure, the trip through space and the plot twists!
I read this because it was a Sword and Laser pick for November – I’m a bit behind!
